The Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to suspend a Biden-era parole program that allowed a half million immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to temporarily live and work in the United States. It was the second time this month that the high court sided with Trump’s efforts to revoke temporary legal status for immigrants. The Supreme Court previously cleared the way for the administration to revoke another temporary program that provided work permits to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. The court’s brief order was not signed. Two liberal justices – Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson – dissented from the decision. Though the emergency decision from the Supreme Court is not final – the underlying legal case will continue in lower courts – the order will allow the administration to expedite deportations for those who had previously benefited from the program. Federal immigration law since the 1950s has allowed an administration to “parole” certain migrants arriving at the border for humanitarian and other reasons. The Eisenhower administration, for instance, paroled tens of thousands of people fleeing Hungary during a Soviet crackdown after World War II. Paroled migrants may legally live and work in the country typically for two years, though their status is temporary. The Biden administration announced in 2023 that it would grant parole to qualified migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who submitted to review by authorities rather than attempting to enter the country illegally. Applicants were required to have an American sponsor and clear security vetting. Trump signed an order on his first day in office seeking to unilaterally end the program.
